Assignment 26: Help- Karl Werner

                The year is winding down. We have taken test after test after test after test. And before each of these, there was a copious amount of studying.  A sizable quantity of the studying and preparation occurred in this very class. A wonderful tool that helped me improve in English was class essay grading. When we went over essays in a class, I was able to view and identify errors in writing style and technique. I saw these errors in my own writing and others, and was able to apply these lessons into future works. These class grading sessions were very effective. However, late in the semester we began commenting and grading these essays online. I felt this was far less effective, as we were only able to access a limited critique of only our work, and most people did not take the time to even do this. I felt this medium of grading was vastly less constructive to me as a student of English. In conclusion, I felt the group grading sessions were highly productive, and those taking place online not so much.
